Category: the year in haiku

True contemplation:
Not a technique to master,
A state to allow

Awareness of self:
Not happiness or sadness
But something deeper

Not simply a wave
You are the deep wide ocean
Uncontainable

Don’t question your path
Press on with an open mind
The way will appear

Momentum waivers:
Don’t lose sight of your vision
Re-commit to it

Think positively
Don’t be held back by your doubts
Just grasp the nettle

Challenge of the day:
Discover what it requires
Rise up to meet it

Keep your spirits up
It can’t always be easy
Give it your best shot

When the way seems blocked
Keep telling yourself: “Go on”
Push through the blockage

Keep faith, don’t lose heart:
When the well seems to run dry
Dig a bit deeper

Daylight hours shorten
As the nights draw in quicker
Keep your spirits up

Always be your best
Full attention to the task
What more can you do?

Add here, remove there:
A square peg in a round hole
Can be made to fit

It’s a big effort
No one said it was easy
Keep plugging away

Riding on a high
Just when you least expect it
Surprises in store
